In rodents and humans, lymphocytes circulate throughout the body and return preferentially to their tissues of origin via a process termed homing. The specificity of homing is controlled by the binding of tissue-specific receptors on lymphocytes to ligands on specialized high-walled endothelial venules (HEV) found in lymphoid tissue. The murine and human peripheral lymphocyte homing receptors (PLHR) have been characterized and shown to be similar to each other. We present evidence for a similar receptor in the bovine. Bovine peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) bind to the HEV of murine peripheral lymph node tissue in vitro. The same sugars that have been shown to decrease the binding of murine or human lymphocytes to murine HEV also decrease the binding of bovine PBL to murine HEV. Neuraminidase treatment affects lymphocyte binding in a similar manner in the bovine, murine and human species. Phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) stimulation, which has been shown to reduce the expression of murine and human PLHR, also reduces the binding of bovine PBL to murine HEV. These data suggest conservation of PLHR between these species.

A major limiting factor in the success of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy for the treatment of solid tumors is targeting tumor antigens also found on normal tissues. CAR T cells against GD2 induced rapid, fatal neurotoxicity because of CAR recognition of GD2 normal mouse brain tissue. To improve the selectivity of the CAR T cell, we engineered a synthetic Notch receptor that selectively expresses the CAR upon binding to P-selectin, a cell adhesion protein overexpressed in tumor neovasculature.

NF2-related schwannomatosis, previously known as neurofibromatosis type 2, is a genetic disorder characterized by nerve tumors due to gene mutations. Mice with deletion develop schwannomas slowly with low penetrance, hence inconvenient for preclinical studies. Here, we show that NF2, by recruiting E3 ubiquitin ligases β-TrCP1/2, promotes WWC1-3 ubiquitination and degradation.

The cytokine interleukin-10 (IL-10) limits the immune response and promotes resolution of acute inflammation. Because of its immunosuppressive effects, IL-10 up-regulation is a common feature of tumor progression and metastasis. Recently, IL-10 regulation has been shown to depend on mitochondria and redox-sensitive signals.

Although lipid-derived acetyl-coenzyme A (CoA) is a major carbon source for histone acetylation, the contribution of fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) to this process remains poorly characterized. To investigate this, we generated mitochondrial acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1, distal FAO enzyme) knockout macrophages. C-carbon tracing confirmed reduced FA-derived carbon incorporation into histone H3, and RNA sequencing identified diminished interferon-stimulated gene expression in the absence of ACAT1.
